Eric Britz, LPC

Eric Britz is a Licensed Professional Counselor who offers practical help for people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and low self-esteem. He speaks plainly and focuses on clear steps clients can use between sessions. Eric works from Michigan and has 19 years of experience as a psychotherapist and counselor.

He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns and try small changes that can make daily life easier. He also draws on client-centered ideas to listen without judgment and on trauma-focused methods when past events continue to cause pain. Motivational Interviewing and solution-focused techniques are part of his toolbox for people trying to change behaviors or cope with big transitions.

Eric has a background that includes art therapy and work in addiction counseling and crisis intervention. That variety informs a practical approach - he mixes talking, problem-solving, and creative options when they fit a person's needs. He also has experience with court and jail systems and with long-term mental health concerns.

Sessions aim to break problems into manageable steps. People can expect clear goals, collaborative planning, and options for homework between visits. Eric emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and steady encouragement as clients work through change.

Clients who want a straightforward, step-oriented counselor may find his style helpful. He supports exploration of values, coping skills, and concrete strategies for daily challenges.

How online approaches and evidence-based methods work

Eric commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that reduce distress. CBT is practical and works for anxiety, depression, and many daily struggles. Client-Centered Therapy is also part of his approach and focuses on listening with empathy so people feel heard and can explore their values at their own pace. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone is weighing change - it helps clarify motivation and build readiness without pressure.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Eric will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Together they decide which methods to try first and adjust the plan over time based on what works for the client.

Online therapy offers options to fit different lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins and day-to-day skill work easier to fit into a busy schedule. These formats make it possible to move forward without travel and to match the interaction style someone finds most helpful.
